While a great deal of physicists' work
is concerned with investigating all aspects of the physical universe, many
technological advances have occurred as a result of original physics research,
or by applying physics ideas to specific problems. This of course means
that physicists are extremely important in helping with technological progress.
Listed below are some of the advances which have been made possible with
physics research.
